The Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle
More photosExpert reviews
“Covering an entire city block smack-dab in the heart of downtown, the Fairmont Olympic is Seattle’s grande dame of hotels and the place to stay if you want a traditional, full-service, grand hotel experience. The majesty, opulence and scale of its lobby and the Georgian Room is simply unparalleled.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Seattle.
“With 450 rooms and every imaginable service, this place is certainly a splurge, but it’s worth exploring even if you don’t stay here – have an oyster at Shuckers, the oak-paneled hotel bar, or pose like royalty on the Versailles-worthy main staircase.”
“A Seattle landmark since 1924, the Fairmont Olympic offers refined luxury and top-notch customer service. No wonder it attracts a fiercely loyal clientele, who also appreciate its prime Downtown location, many amenities, and timeless glamor.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Seattle.
“One of Seattle’s most historic hotels. The Fairmont Olympic strikes the right balance between old-world glamour in its lobby and contemporary luxury in its rooms.”

It's always a comfortable stay at the Fairmont.
Valet parking and front desk staff are excellent!
The bar service didn't match the service in other areas of the hotel. For example, there wasn't enough staff to cover all the clients, so you would have to go to the bar to order your drinks. Another example, would be the lava cake we ordered for our room was uncooked. Fairmont is known for their attention to details, it was the small things on many occasions that were missed!

Beautiful old hotel with a new remodel.. the lobby space is loud and vibrant with the bar in the center . Beautiful rooms and close to everything in Seattle
The loud lobby was a bit overwhelming and difficult to have a conversation...

I loved my stay and plan to come back.
I’d like the breakfast, but I wish you had more on the menu
The pastries were a little dry. Perhaps stale.

Great staff. Very friendly and helpful.
I stayed there for one night but as my flight was at 17:30, I requested an additional half day with half day rate. Regular checkout is at 11:00. The recipient gave me a late checkout until 14:00 free of charge. She’s so nice!! The concierge booked for me a ride to the airport. He was extremely helpful too.
The windows are small.
